The single most important pitching measure.

When pitching, because you have only one foot on the ground,
your pitching base of support transfers to your knees. The wider the distance
between your knees, the more you’ll be able to keep your weight centered
between your knees, the more often you end your front leg lift in a stable
position.

Weight... Why hitters control pitchers?

When your movements move your weight from the center of your
pitching base of support, you can’t help but use your arms to get your body
back to a stable posture. Only after landing your foot plant do you free your
throwing arm to complete your motion. With both feet already on the ground, you
stop your hips from having any impact on your throwing arm activity, your
throwing arm works by itself and you miss your target over the plate more often
than is advantageous to your pitching career.
Instead of letting your motion drive your results, you use your results
to drive your motion.

How to measure your pitching results?

The best pitching results come from knowing how to keep your
weight centered within your pitching base of support.

Everyday pitching stability.

Your base of support is the area between your feet. You’re most stable when you center your
weight in the middle of your support base. You move your weight outside your
base of support and you throw yourself out of balance.

Pitching stability.

When pitching, because you have only one foot on the ground,
your base of support transfers to your knees. The wider the distance between
your knees, the more you’ll be able to keep your weight centered between your
knees, the more often you end your front leg lift in a stable position.

Pitching instability.

When you let your front knee come behind your front hip, your
base of support becomes your back foot. Even though, with all your weight over
your back foot and without any distance between your knees, you feel balanced
at the top of your front leg lift, your front leg lift promotes instability.

Why is pitching stability important?

Begin your movement toward the plate from an unstable front
leg lift and only after you get both feet back on the ground and move your
weight back to center of your base of support can your throwing arm complete
your delivery.

Begin from a stable position and your throwing arm is always
free to react to your movements.

Do you understand your body when pitching?

Pitching: How your body works.

The way your body keeps itself stable is the least
understood, yet needs to be the biggest focus within your pitching motion.

Your body naturally adapts to the way you move. Your body
instantly knows when it’s unstable and automatically corrects itself. A trained
Coach sees instability and knows how to use your reactions to alter your
outcomes to your advantage.

Pitching: Stability.

Stability truly solves your most vexing pitching dilemmas.
When you use stability to turn every movement into the extremely efficient and
repeatable reaction, Coaches end up finding you and then fighting to have you
pitch for his Team.

Thinking about Pitching.

When you take the time to study the complexity of human
stability, you’ll find the extremely logical and very predictable ways your body
reacts to itself always comes down to a series of very simple and very
repeatable thoughts. Once you make this realization, it becomes obvious
when to stop adjusting, when you just need support and when any new skill hurts
your outcomes.

1. Out of your front leg lift, you open your glove side shoulder to get...

2. Your front foot to make contact with the ground which...3. Rotates your lower body which... 4. Spontaneously brings your throwing hand into release.Every multiple-year Cy Young winning motion shows this sequence and, because their throwing arms to react to their lower body movement, are known for consistently keeping their Teams close enough to win.

"Ordinary" slow-motion pitching videos.

Out of your front leg lift, you move down the mound.

You land your foot plant then...

You throw the ball.

These elite Pitchers finish their front leg lift with their weight stabilized in front of their back foot. Your Coach lets you end your front leg lift with your weight moving over your back foot. Your Coach forces your slow-motion video tolook as "ordinary" as everyone else?

Pitching confusion.

You’re confused? You move exactly the way your Coach wants, you do what everyone else does, yet you still struggle to produce results you know have in you and, despite constantly working on "stuff", rarely see sustained improvement?

Improvement is within reach by making a simple phone call toan Accountable Pitching Coach!

Every second of every day, your subconscious obsesses
over keeping/getting their body in a stable state… hips level and core upright.
Your subconscious does this by manipulating your arms 50,000 times faster than
your think. Add these two items together
and your subconscious turns your stability into an unstoppable, yet very
natural, process.

It’s all right to “accept” these necessary adjustments in
everyday life, but, in pitching, the “acceptable” turns very “dysfunctional”.
